Artist Chris DeLorenzo Follows His Creative Muse

Growing up in Massachusetts, Chris DeLorenzo could escape into an entirely different world simply by picking up a pen and a piece of paper.

“That was where I found my solace and where I knew I belonged – drawing,” DeLorenzo says. “I knew I could be anything and be part of any world when I drew. You could go to the movies, but I looked at it as you could make your own movie by drawing characters and places. My grandmother used to take me to art lessons, and she instilled in me that being an artist is an admirable thing and to embrace it. Having her as a mentor was powerful in directing me into this career.”

DeLorenzo may have been “Just a Kid” from Boston, when he was bit by the art bug, but he channeled his childhood passion into career in graphic design, which he says gives him a “bird’s eye view” of how art works in the world by using typography, color and illustration.

“There wasn’t ever any other choice for me,” he says. “It’s a dream come true that every day I get to draw. That’s been wonderful.”
